Tabiona
is a small agricultural community southwest of Tabby Mountain on the
Duchesne River. In 1860 a military fort was built on this site. The
fort was named Tabiona, but was also known as Tabbyille and, until 1915,
it was often called Tabby. The name refers to two Ute Chiefs, Tava
(Tabby) and Tayneena. They lived in the area with their people. In 1915
Tabiona became the formal name.
